    Can You Inquire Without Giving Your Real Name?

    OPUS TOKYO EDITORIAL

    You may be curious about a private experience in Japan yet hesitant to share your real name at the very beginning. OPUS understands that feeling.

    No real name or separate phone number for the first inquiry

    “I’m thinking about a 120-minute booking in Tokyo next month.” A message like that is enough to begin. You do not need to decide how much of your personal life you wish to share. If your trip is still tentative, you may simply ask how the process works.

    We separate privacy from necessary procedures

    A hotel or payment provider may require personal details for its own legitimate process. That does not mean OPUS requires all of that information when you first contact us. We aim to explain who is requesting information, why it is needed and at what stage.

    If Japanese service customs are unfamiliar, ask us. You deserve understandable answers before choosing what to share.

    We are interested in your wishes, not interrogating your life

    You do not have to discuss your work, family or living situation simply to explore a booking. What matters to us is how you would like to spend your time and what arrangements are possible.

    Trust can develop gradually

    There is no need to disclose everything to someone you have never met. Begin with what feels comfortable.


  • Can You Book OPUS Without a Passport?

    Can You Book OPUS Without a Passport?

    When you are abroad, being asked to send a photograph of your passport may feel unsettling. It is an important document, and you deserve to know why anyone needs it.

    OPUS does not request a passport for its booking process

    Our policy is not to require presentation of a passport for an OPUS reservation. You may begin by telling us the date, area and number of guests. There is no need to prepare a passport image for your initial message.

    A hotel’s requirements are separate

    Hotels in Japan may request identification from guests, depending on their nationality, residence status and other applicable rules. Those are hotel check-in procedures, not a requirement to send your passport photograph to OPUS.

    If a hotel asks for something you do not understand, you can ask us to explain the distinction. We cannot waive a hotel’s legal or administrative requirements, but we can help prevent confusion between the two processes.

    Personal information deserves care

    You do not need to provide your real name or a separate phone number for an initial OPUS inquiry either. If another service provider requires information at a later stage, its purpose and recipient should be made clear.

    Ask before sending

    Not knowing Japan’s procedures is nothing to apologize for. Please ask us when something is unclear, especially before sharing sensitive documents.


  • 120, 180 or 240 Minutes? Choosing Your OPUS Course

    120, 180 or 240 Minutes? Choosing Your OPUS Course

    OPUS TOKYO EDITORIAL

    When you are meeting a Japanese companion for the first time, it can be difficult to imagine how long two hours will feel. OPUS offers three basic durations. The prices below are for one international female guest.

    120 minutes | Space for a first meeting

    ¥80,000. This is the starting course. Picture the first greeting, a little nervous laughter, and conversation gradually becoming easier. You do not have to fill every minute with a planned activity.

    180 minutes | Time to enjoy the atmosphere

    ¥140,000. If you are considering a meal or some travelling between locations, additional time may appeal to you. Whether meals, outings or particular venues are possible depends on the agreed service and circumstances. We can explain what can be arranged.

    240 minutes | A more leisurely Japanese evening

    ¥180,000. This may suit a woman who wants to enjoy the conversation and setting without continually checking the clock. More time is not automatically the best choice; your comfort matters most.

    Unsure? Ask us

    You can simply say, “It is my first time and I don’t know which to choose.” Tell us your travel dates and the mood you hope for, and we will explain the options. Separate prices apply when two international female guests book together. Applicable travel expenses and hotel charges will be identified separately.

    Your time, at your pace

    Whichever duration you consider, this is your experience. We can begin by talking through the possibilities.


  • How to Inquire About OPUS via WhatsApp

    How to Inquire About OPUS via WhatsApp

    OPUS TOKYO EDITORIAL

    Calling an unfamiliar number in Japan can feel daunting, especially if you do not speak Japanese. Using a familiar messaging app can make the first step gentler.

    You can begin with “Hello”

    Our official WhatsApp contact is https://wa.me/817023653390. You can ask questions even if you are not ready to book. “I’m visiting Japan,” “Could you explain the prices?” or “I don’t speak Japanese” are all fine. There is no need for a long introduction or personal documents.

    A woman looks down and uses her smartphone inside a bright Japanese café looking out onto traditional roofs and trees; a cup and saucer sit within reach.

    If you know the date, city and number of women, you might write: “Tokyo / November 12 / one woman / 120 minutes.” Leave undecided details undecided. We can explain what information is helpful next.

    There is no need to rush after our reply

    We may suggest dates, companions, fees and the terms required to confirm a reservation. If something is unclear, ask again. An exchange of WhatsApp messages is not itself a confirmed booking; you can simply say that you are still considering your options.

    Response times and the languages available with individual companions vary, so contacting us ahead of your trip is helpful.

    Your first message does not need sensitive information

    OPUS does not require your real name or a separate telephone number for the initial inquiry. You need not include a passport image or hotel room number. If a hotel or payment provider has its own information requirements, we will distinguish their purpose from our inquiry process.

    A message in your own words

    “I’m interested, but still thinking about it.” That is more than enough to open a conversation. We look forward to hearing from you.


  • Hotel Costs and Extra Fees: What to Confirm

    Hotel Costs and Extra Fees: What to Confirm

    OPUS TOKYO EDITORIAL

    Unexpected expenses can make any trip stressful. Japan’s short-stay hotel rates and different weekend prices are not always easy to understand from a travel guide.

    Course fees and hotel fees are different

    For one international female guest, the basic OPUS courses cost ¥80,000 for 120 minutes, ¥140,000 for 180 minutes and ¥180,000 for 240 minutes. A room or hotel facility may charge separately, depending on its location, schedule and rules. We will explain what is included in our price and what may need to be paid elsewhere.

    If you are wondering what a Japanese love hotel’s “rest” rate means, or whether your current hotel allows a visitor, you are welcome to ask. Hotels do not all operate in the same way, and their individual terms remain under their control.

    We want to avoid unpleasant surprises

    A 120-minute OPUS course does not necessarily mean a hotel room can be booked for exactly 120 minutes: entering, preparing and leaving may take additional time. Some hotels charge for overstaying their own room-use period. We aim to explain such differences before they become a surprise.

    Tell us your intended date and area. We can distinguish the charges we can establish from amounts the hotel must confirm.

    You can ask before choosing a hotel

    You do not have to finish your accommodation search before contacting us. Knowing the area is enough to start discussing the practical steps.

    Asking twice is welcome

    A clear response about money is part of our responsibility. Please do not worry about asking another question.

    How Much Does a Male Companion Cost in Japan?

    OPUS TOKYO EDITORIAL

    It is hard to feel comfortable considering a special experience when the price is unclear. Asking about money is entirely reasonable. Here are our basic international guest rates.

    Basic course prices

    Duration One woman Two women total Per woman (two guests)
    120 minutes ¥80,000 ¥140,000 ¥70,000
    180 minutes ¥140,000 ¥260,000 ¥130,000
    240 minutes ¥180,000 ¥340,000 ¥170,000

    These are OPUS basic course prices for international female guests. The table shows the fee for one woman, the combined fee when two women share time with one OPUS male companion, and the equivalent per-person amount. Each woman pays ¥10,000 less than she would for an individual booking of the same duration.

    The basic course starts at 120 minutes. You do not have to decide on a longer duration before you have told us what kind of time you hope to enjoy. We can explain the options in a calm, straightforward way.

    Perhaps you would like a quiet conversation, an evening with some room to breathe, or a more leisurely itinerary. Tell us the atmosphere you have in mind and we can discuss the time options and the services available.

    We will distinguish additional costs

    Hotel room charges and travel or dispatch expenses outside Tokyo may be separate from the course fee. You should not have to calculate everything by searching several Japanese websites. Ask “What would the total be on this date, at this location?” and we will identify what OPUS can quote and what a hotel or another provider determines separately.

    Your questions about payment matter

    Payment methods, the stage at which payment is due, and change or cancellation terms should be clear before a formal booking. We will not treat something unexplained as something you should already know simply because you are in Japan.

    Clear prices are part of a warm welcome

    Your budget is a natural part of planning your time in Japan. We welcome questions and will explain what is covered by OPUS and what a hotel or another provider charges separately.

    Your First OPUS Booking: From Inquiry to Meeting

    OPUS TOKYO EDITORIAL

    A first booking can be exciting and unfamiliar. You may wonder what will happen on the day. You need no special preparation or knowledge of Japanese etiquette to begin asking us.

    Tell us what you know so far

    “I’m going to Tokyo next week” or “This is my first time, and I’m a little nervous” is enough for an initial inquiry. We will help identify the practical details, including suitable times and the style of companion you would like, without expecting a finished plan.

    A woman looks down and uses her smartphone at an elegant marble hotel reception with large floral arrangements; a dark handbag is visible beside her.

    For one international female guest, our basic prices are ¥80,000 for 120 minutes, ¥140,000 for 180 minutes and ¥180,000 for 240 minutes. If travel or hotel charges apply separately, we will explain that distinction before you book.

    We will explain the arrangements before the day

    Once the date and place are agreed, we will explain how to meet and stay in contact. Japanese stations can have many exits, and hotels sometimes have several entrances. If a location is unfamiliar, please tell us; there is no reason to feel embarrassed.

    Hotels may have their own restrictions on visitors. We can explain what needs checking, while making clear which decisions belong to the hotel.

    You can be yourself when you meet

    You do not need an elaborate outfit, prepared conversation or a practiced manner. If you are nervous, you can say so. If you would rather take things slowly, that feeling deserves consideration.

    Hospitality starts before the meeting

    People using a service for the first time deserve especially thoughtful explanations. We do not want unfamiliar procedures left entirely for you to work out.


  • Can You Use OPUS Without Speaking Japanese?

    Can You Use OPUS Without Speaking Japanese?

    OPUS TOKYO EDITORIAL

    Not being able to read or speak Japanese should not, by itself, make you abandon an experience you were looking forward to.

    You can start in a language you are comfortable with

    Send a short message in English, Traditional Chinese or Spanish and ask about the support available. The language used for inquiries may differ from the languages spoken by individual companions, so we will explain what can be arranged rather than assume they are the same.

    A woman looks down and uses her smartphone in a quiet hotel lounge with soft seating and garden greenery; a wheeled travel case is beside her.

    “Tokyo, November 12, one woman, 120 minutes. I don’t speak Japanese.” Even that simple message helps us start the conversation. Perfect grammar is not required.

    We can explain unfamiliar Japanese terms

    You may encounter hotel terms such as kyūkei (a short-stay room rate) and shukuhaku (overnight accommodation), or different stages of a reservation. If a phrase is unclear, ask us what it means. Prices, dates and meeting arrangements deserve clear explanations, with numbers and examples wherever useful.

    If you are worried about speaking with your companion on the day, tell us beforehand. Language capability and practical communication arrangements are confirmed individually. We do not want you left to manage a difficult situation without knowing what to expect.

    You do not need to perform confidence

    If you feel shy, struggle for words or prefer a quieter atmosphere, that is fine. You are here to enjoy your time in Japan, not to pass a language examination.

    A woman with a shoulder bag looks back while walking in a wood-paneled hotel lobby opening toward a landscaped courtyard; a wheeled travel case is beside her.

    Questions are always a good beginning

    We want to understand your needs, whatever language you use. Tell us what worries you, and we will explain what support is possible.


  • Can You Book a Male Companion While Traveling in Japan?

    Can You Book a Male Companion While Traveling in Japan?

    OPUS TOKYO EDITORIAL

    Your Japan itinerary might already include museums, wonderful meals and beautiful hotels. It can also include time with a Japanese male companion. A short visit does not mean you have to give up the idea.

    Your itinerary does not have to be final

    “I’ll be in Tokyo for three nights, perhaps the second or third evening.” That is a perfectly reasonable starting point. Arrivals can be delayed, and sightseeing plans often change. We can help you think through suitable dates and times without making your holiday revolve around a booking.

    A woman looks down and uses her smartphone in a Tokyo hotel suite with a large bed and illuminated skyline; a dark handbag is visible beside her.

    Perhaps one evening is for exploring, another for resting and another for something memorable. Tell us as much—or as little—as you know for now.

    You do not need to know the geography of Japan

    Is Shibuya close to Shinjuku? Could you spend the day in Kyoto and be back in Osaka in the evening? Questions like these are understandable when you are visiting from abroad. Tell us your destination and we can explain what information we need to check coverage and companion availability. Transport schedules and journey times may change, so confirmed arrangements must take actual travel conditions into account.

    Some hotels also have restrictions on non-registered visitors. We will explain which details matter without expecting you to know Japan’s accommodation customs in advance.

    If plans change, tell us

    Flights, health and travel arrangements do not always go as expected. Contact us as soon as possible if something changes. Whether an adjustment is possible depends on the booking terms, but we can explain the available next steps.

    Make room for your own journey

    Our aim is to find a time that fits your visit—not to make your visit fit around OPUS.

    How to Book a Male Companion in Japan

    OPUS TOKYO EDITORIAL

    Booking private time with a Japanese man in a city you do not yet know can be exciting—and a little daunting. If you are wondering where to begin, please know that you do not need to understand Japanese booking customs, speak fluent Japanese or organize everything before contacting OPUS.

    Your first message can be simple

    “I’m visiting Tokyo in November and I’m interested in spending time with a Japanese companion.” That is enough to start. If you have not chosen your hotel or exact date, simply say so. We will explain the available arrangements and what information may be needed next, one step at a time.

    A woman looks down and uses her smartphone in a Tokyo hotel suite with a large bed and illuminated skyline; a cup and saucer sit within reach.

    If you already know your dates, the city you are staying in and how many women will attend, include those details. You do not have to find the perfect words for what you want. Perhaps you would enjoy conversation, thoughtful escorting or a special memory from your trip. Uncertain feelings are welcome, too.

    We will help make prices and meeting arrangements clear

    For one international female guest, the basic courses are 120 minutes for ¥80,000, 180 minutes for ¥140,000 and 240 minutes for ¥180,000. Booking starts at 120 minutes. We will distinguish the course fee from any applicable travel expenses, hotel charges and other separate costs before you decide.

    You need not select a hotel before asking us. We can discuss your accommodation and the conditions that may apply to meeting there. Individual hotel policies and room availability remain the hotel’s responsibility; we can still help you understand what to ask.

    Decide after you have received an explanation

    An inquiry does not, by itself, confirm a booking or incur a consultation charge. We will explain the proposed date, companion, meeting point, fees, payment and change or cancellation terms before a formal reservation is made. You may take the time you need to consider them.

    A welcoming first step

    Understanding Japan should not be a prerequisite for feeling welcome here. Explaining unfamiliar details is part of our work, not a burden we want to place on you. We look forward to hearing from you when you feel ready.
